Mutt supports several different kinds of mailboxes, including mbox, MH
and maildir. One of the reasons I moved away from using the uw-imap
server was because I hated having the folder-locking problems you
mentioned. I use courier-imap for my IMAP server, and I've configured
my .procmail to deliver mail into Maildir-formatted mailboxes.
